I'm also a big freshwater fish-figure fan. Know of anything new and exciting? I need to know as well!

Again about your skate keyring, it seems there are unless a crab, and a lobster either.Check [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The fish is impossible for me to identify, can you put it in a certain taxa? Family or something like that?

I have realized that I don't have a thread on here for when I get new stuff! So it is time to fix that, since I just came back from a trip to Florida and found a few great things (and left behind a lot of terrible things).

First off, I found a ridiculous number of rays--and this doesn't even count my kids' stuffed animals...

The big one is a ray from Sun Wai. The species isn't particularly obvious, but I think it is sort of representative of a Blue Stingray Dasyatis chrysonota. It's a water squirter, but it never will be! Most interesting is that it has not one but two barbs on the tail.

Second, I picked up some new sets of the Club Earth rays set. My origial ones were more pearlescentin colour, but these would be more 'bright'. They are also stickier than the pearl ones, so I'm hoping that they dry out soon.

Finally, although we avoided Sea World, they did have 2 gift shops in the airport--and apparently Sea World has manufactured their own figures! I don't collect marine mammals, which dominated, but they did have what might be the nicest Spotted Eagle Ray I have--and an odd coloured Leopard shark.

Two of those are Battat re-release dinos, a Ceratosaurus and Amargasaurus. Only available at Target, and since that chain only lasted a few months here in Canada, I had to get them while there! Plus, my son found a 4D puzzle 'raptor' model, which is clearly based on the Ornitholestes from Walking with Dinosaurs.

Will that big ray be on TAI, someday?

It really should be--we don't even have Sun Wai listed!

And a...something. I honestly have no idea on this one--possibly a deep-sea fish of some kind. It's more of a solid plastic than the others, like a Marx figure.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And, as a surprise, a neat little plastic hyena (of a brand I have to determine):[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Any IDs are welcome, since PRIOR doesn't use name markings. And I have spares of some, so they may need new homes!

I really love all of them, starting with this goblin, a remarkable shark species to the fangs of that scaleless lizard.

I'm pretty happy to have them! Of the many gobln shark figures that I have,this is easily one of the best.

And there are a lot--almost always in a capsule-figure size range. Takara has done 2, Colorata has made one, and there is an early Kaiyodo Deep-Sea figure. Plus, a PV model and a tiny one from a K&M ball. And there are probably others, mainly Japanese (I don't know if there is a larger PV figure)

Really, you'd almost expect more of them! They are such unique fish.

Sean, I edited your original post using pictures directly from Google without resizing them. I just copied the picture address and used the button insert image that you can find while entereing/editing a post on forum. Congratulations for your new figures and remember that STS and ATF are compatible so you can copy directly from a forum to the other.

Thanks Roger.

I didn't think of that method, although I think I am missing a step somewhere. Google has made things unnecessarily difficult these days.

FOLLOW UP--I still can't quite figure out where you got the working address! PM me the details please!

Congrats on your new finds.The Dunkleosteus at first sight is nice, but then there is Metallic Terminator head, raptor lizard skin, scutes, comb-like fins,... There is too much going on for me to make it look....balanced?I guess I like the Safari ltd. one better too, heh.

It is a lovely model , and I just love mine, because it was one of the first trades I got from a member of this forum . When I got it , I thought it was just a "funny fish", - how wonderful to realize how much I have learned from this forum
